Happy New Year

Welcome back! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season! It was really nice to relax a bit with my family!

Here are some things that are happening in the music class:

K-3 are listening, singing, and learning about other cultures though my book called The Singing Sack. They look forward to this month every year!
4th: RECORDERS!!! We have begun! My hope is that you are seeing progress at home!
5th: Lots of singing and review of musical concepts in class and Mass prep is always done amongst that. The kiddos are doing a great job cantoring and singing at Mass this year!
6th-8th band: New notes and quizzes are the name of the game in the winter months. They will always receive a week of notice before a quiz.
7th/8th music: We are learning about the Blues! During this time we are looking at what we listen to at home and are comparing it to the Blues--it has made for some interesting discussion!

I hope that all of you are getting back on schedule and are looking forward to the coming weeks when we celebrate Catholic School's week.
